Investigating post-traumatic syringomyelia and local fluid osmoregulation via a rat model
BackgroundSyringomyelia (SM) is characterized by the development of fluid-filled cavities, referred to as syrinxes, within the spinal cord tissue....

Ontogenetical development of branchial chambers of Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) and their involvement in osmoregulation: ionocytes and Na+/K+-ATPase
Branchial chambers constitute the main osmoregulatory site in almost all decapod crustaceans. However, few studies have been devoted to elucidate the...

Role of Proglucagon Peptides in Osmoregulation
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a product of partial proteolysis of proglucagon, is involved not only in regulation of carbohydrates, but also in...

Microbial river-to-sea continuum: gradients in benthic and planktonic diversity, osmoregulation and nutrient cycling
BackgroundCoastal aquatic ecosystems include chemically distinct, but highly interconnected environments. Across a freshwater-to-marine transect,...

Development of branchial ionocytes in embryonic and larval stages of cloudy catshark, Scyliorhinus torazame
In teleost fish, branchial ionocytes are important sites for osmoregulation and acid-base regulation by maintaining ionic balance in the body fluid....

Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone of Portunus trituberculatus: evidence of alternative splicing and potential roles in osmoregulation
The crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) gene of Portunus trituberculatus ( Pt-CHH ) consists of four exons and three introns spanning 3849 bp in...
